Having just travelled to the Nordics this year it was so fun to see a Nordic style cafe in a small town! These bakers are so extremely talented. We both ordered the jalapeño and cheese croissant and there were so many flakey thin buttery layers of goodness. It's rare to see so many layers these days but they clearly take their time here to make a very perfected product. We would have gotten more but we were just driving through. We did pick up two coffees, I tried the vanilla foam coffee which was great the foam was the star of this one. Highly recommend you must stop here if you ever find yourself in Campbell River!!

Also a seating area for sipping and noshing. We chose two large croissants for sandwich making later and a "gotta have it now" apple fritter. I without fail will search out a local bakery everywhere in the world I travel, and I will say with zero hesitation that this still warm, cinnamony, fritter was right at the top of fritters/pastries I've ever enjoyed anywhere. Could not have been more perfect. If I had the time, I would have turned the car around gone back for another. I look forward to visiting the area again and enjoying another fritter or two and many more of this bakery's selection of surely delicious items.

Service was quick!! It's located in a nursery place with groceries & other shops around. The outdoor seating on a nice day is perfect. I do wish they had plant based milk for their coffee though, that would make the place perfect for everyone.

Apparently, Cakebread do a mean garlic loaf - with a whole bulb baked into the center. What is there not to love about that? Anyway, I didn't get to try it, so I can't review it - I just will dream about that instead. Rather, I tried out a chocolate brownie. I've been a little disappointed with brownies since I moved to the states, so I thought I would try out a Canadian version, to see if it could compare to the wonder of the brownies sold in London's Borough Market. Well, it didn't - but it was incredibly luscious. Chocolate icing on top and a surprise of biscuit (cookie) threaded through the brownie itself. I do like a bit of texture when I am chowing down. One brownie was probably a bit too rich for one person - but, I was alone - and I do hate seeing food go to waste. It's called taking one for the team, ok?

On our family trip, my wife a constant searcher for a good Scone and Baked Pastry, saw the sign for this place as we drove between Qualicum Beach and other sights to be seen. In that, we quickly looked them up, and saw they have been around for a long time (1995), and give ourselves a waypoint to stop on our drive back to our holiday rental. So when you drive up, you feel like you might be traveling to a farm house, which happens to be a bakery. The vibes definitely put you into that mood. On our occasion, it was a mild but warn day, and people were outside on their stone patio having baked good, so maybe we were in for a treat. Upon entering, you are in a small room, just enough for a few things on the side, then the case of goods, front of center. They were well stocked with lots of delights, and breads too. Sausage rolls, scones, cookies, bars, and cake slices. Today, we got a couple sausage rolls and a scone... and let's just say, each was proper delicious. That said, we were in the out, because as we stared ordering, a line of people started to show up, and we quickly paid and left. So is it worth coming, sure. Is it delicious, yes.
